Voorloopige Catalogus Van De Acari in De Collectie-Oudemans VOORLOOPIGE CATALOGUS VAN DE ACARI IN DE COLLECTIE-OUDEMANS door A. M. BUITENDIJK Van Dr. A. C. Oudemans ontving het Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke His• toric in 1942 ten geschenke de door hem in den loop der jaren bijeen ge- brachte belangrijke verzameling van Acari. Deze verzameling omvat 5981 praeparaten van mijten, behoorende tot 1316 soorten. Verder legateerde Dr. Oudemans aan het museum zijn verzameling van afbeeldingen van dieren van deze groep, welke na zijn overlijden op 14 Januari 1943 werden ontvangen. Bij deze afbeeldingen, voor het meerendeel bestaande uit door Dr. Oudemans zelf gemaakte teekeningen (in het geheel 2045 bladen), heeft een groot aantal betrekking op soorten (of onderdeelen daarvan), van welke praeparaten in de verzameling aanwezig zijn, terwijl andere bladen met afbeeldingen betrekking hebben op vormen die niet als praepa- raat aanwezig zijn. Het ligt voor de hand dat het voor Acarologen van groot belang is te weten welke soorten in de verzameling zijn vertegenwoordigd als praepa- raat of als afbeelding. Dit bracht mij er toe den nu verschijnenden catalogus samen te stellen. Reeds dadelijk moet hierbij worden opgemerkt dat het mij, als niet-Acaroloog, niet mogelijk was een catalogus samen te stellen, die voldoende critisch is. De nomenclatuur zal dan 00k in vele gevallen niet geheel juist zijn en 00k de systematische rangschikking van het mate- riaal zal in vele gevallen voor verbetering vatbaar zijn. Hoe dit 00k zij, met den nu verschijnenden catalogus zullen Acarologen in staat zijn na te gaan wat aanwezig is. De hier gebruikte systematische volgorde is in den regel die welke voorkomt in de verzameling van praeparaten, 00k bij de opgave van de vindplaatsen is de volgorde van de praeparaten in de collectie gebruikt. Behalve in die gevallen waar de ter beschikking staande gegevens niet voldoende waren om dit met zekerheid aan te geven is bij elke vindplaats het land van herkomst vermeld. Een aantal namen is van het teeken + voorzien, dit wil zeggen dat Zoologische Mededeelingen XXIV 18* 282 A. M. BUITENDIJK van de soort of het onderdeel daarvan zoodanig materiaal aanwezig is dat daaruit met zekerheid is op te maken dat dit type materiaal is. Het teeken o duidt aan dat van de soort of het onderdeel daarvan behalve praeparaten ook teekeningen aanwezig zijn. Het teeken * is geplaatst bij die soorten of onderdeelen daarvan die in de verzameling alleen door teekeningen zijn vertegenwoordigd. Veel dank ben ik verschuldigd aan den heer G. L. van Eyndhoven, die steeds bereid was mij behulpzaam te zijn bij kwesties van synonymie en bij het opzoeken van een aantal jaartallen, waardoor de lijst ten zeerste aan volledigheid heeft gewonnen. Niettegenstaande deze hulp bleven er nog enkele gevallen over die niet tot een oplossing te brengen waren, zoodat bij sommige soorten of onderdeelen daarvan het jaartal van publi- catie niet kon worden vermeld.

  • [46I ] the SENSORY PHYSIOLOGY of the HARVEST MITE
    [46i ] THE SENSORY PHYSIOLOGY OF THE HARVEST MITE TROMBICULA AUTUMNALIS SHAW BY B. M. JONES Department of Zoology, University of Edinburgh (Received 18 May 1950) (With Twenty-four Text-figures) INTRODUCTION The ectoparasitic habit of the hexapod larva of Trombicula autumnalis is the cause of much discomfort to residents of infected localities in the British Isles, between late June and the beginning of October. The mite is a member of the Trombiculid group which includes species known to transmit disease in some parts of the world. The unfed larvae are found either upon the soil or climbing upon low-lying vegetation. Under suitable conditions they aggregate into clusters and are then more easily detected as orange patches. Development to the nymphal stage cannot take place unless the larvae obtain a meal from the superficial tissue of a vertebrate host to which they must securely attach themselves. The nymphs and adults are non-parasitic and lead a hypogeal existence at a depth of about 12 in. below the surface of the soil (Cockings, 1948). The hairs of a mammal, or the feathers of a bird, as they brush against infected soil or low-lying vegetation, are admirably suited for picking up the mites, but the question arises, to what extent are sensory perceptions of environmental stimuli of the mites directed towards the acquisition of a host. The chief aim of the present work has therefore been to investigate (a) the responses of the mite to stimuli most likely to have value with respect to the problem of acquiring a host, and (b) the nature of the sensory organs.

  • George Et Al 1992 Louse Mite Infestations Domestic Animals Nigeria
    Trop. Anita. Hlth Prod. (1992) 24, 121-124 LOUSE AND MITE INFESTATION IN DOMESTIC ANIMALS IN NORTHERN NIGERIA J. B. D. GEORGE, S. OTOBO, J. OGUNLEYEand B. ADEDIMINIYI Department of Veterinary Parasitology and Entomology, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, Nigeria SUMMARY Records of domestic animals brought to the Veterinary Entomology Laboratory for diagnosis of suspected lice and mite infestation over a 10 year period were analysed. From a total of 794 suspected cases, 137 (17.3%) and247 (31.1%) were positive for lice and mange mites respectively. The most common lice species recorded were Linognathus vituli (66.7%) on cattle, L. ovillus (83.3%) on sheep, Haematopinus suis (100%) on pigs and Menacanthus stramineus (54.5%) on poultry. Other lice species recorded included Haematopinus bovis and Solenopotes capillatus on cattle, Damalinia ovis on sheep, Linognathus stenopsis and Mena- canthus stramineus on goats, Goniocotes sp. on a horse, Linognathus setosus and Menacanthus stramineus on dogs, Goniodes gigas, Lipeurus caponis, Menopon gallinae and Chelopistes meleagrides on poultry. The most common mite species were Demodex folliculorum on cattle (96.9%) and on dogs (80.8%), Sarcoptes scabiei on pigs (100%) and Notoedres cati (80.3%) on rabbits. Other mite species included Psoroptes communis, Cheyletiella parasitivorax, Ornithonyssus gallinae and Dermanyssus gallinae. INTRODUCTION Lice and mite infestations often cause stress and loss of condition (Schillhorn van Veen and Mohammed, 1975; Bamidele and Amakiri, 1978; Idowu and Adetunji, 1981; Okon, 1981). Usually a dermatitis is manifested which is characterised by alopecia and necrotic foci. There is also intense pruritus (especially with mange) which leads to biting and vigorous scratching of affected parts (Lapage, 1968; Sweatman, 1973; Idowu and Adetunji, 1981).

  • Evolution of Host Range in the Follicle Mite Demodex Kutzeri
    594 Evolution of host range in the follicle mite Demodex kutzeri MICHAEL F. PALOPOLI*, VAN TRA, KASSEY MATOIN and PHUONG D. MAC Department of Biology, Bowdoin College, Brunswick, ME, USA (Received 10 August 2016; revised 12 October 2016; accepted 25 October 2016; first published online 29 November 2016) SUMMARY The sequences of four mitochondrial genes were determined for Demodex mites isolated from two distantly related species within the family Cervidae, and identified morphologically as belonging to the species Demodex kutzeri. The sequences were used to test the hypothesis that Demodex are strictly host-specific, and hence cospeciate with their hosts: (1) The esti- mated divergence time between mites found on elk vs humans agreed closely with a previous estimate of the time that these host species last shared a common ancestor, suggesting cospeciation of mites and hosts, at least over long evolutionary timescales. (2) The extremely low levels of sequence divergence between the mites found on elk vs mule deer hosts indicated that these mites belong to the same species, which suggests that Demodex are able to move across host species boundaries over shorter timescales. Together, the results are consistent with the model that Demodex mites are not strict host-specialists, but instead lose the ability to move between host lineages gradually. Key words: Demodex, cospeciation, host range, evolution. INTRODUCTION observed to occur more often when the host immune system is compromised (e.g. Ivy et al. Host range is a key element of parasite evolution 1995), suggesting an antagonistic relationship (Combes, 2001). For example, host-generalists between mites and host.

R. China; 2Vector Laboratory, Institute of Pathogens and Vectors, Yunnan Provincial Key Laboratory for Zoonosis Control and Prevention, Dali University, Dali, Yunnan Province 671000, P. R. China Abstract: This article reviews Leptotrombidium deliense, including its discovery and nomenclature, morphological features and identification, life cycle, ecology, relationship with diseases, chromosomes and artificial cultivation. The first record of L. deliense was early in 1922 by Walch. Under the genus Leptotrombidium, there are many sibling species similar to L. de- liense, which makes it difficult to differentiate L. deliense from another sibling chigger mites, for example, L. rubellum. The life cycle of the mite (L. deliense) includes 7 stages: egg, deutovum (or prelarva), larva, nymphochrysalis, nymph, ima- gochrysalis and adult. The mite has a wide geographical distribution with low host specificity, and it often appears in differ- ent regions and habitats and on many species of hosts. As a vector species of chigger mite, L. deliense is of great impor- tance in transmitting scrub typhus (tsutsugamushi disease) in many parts of the world, especially in tropical regions of Southeast Asia. The seasonal fluctuation of the mite population varies in different geographical regions. The mite has been successfully cultured in the laboratory, facilitating research on its chromosomes, biochemistry and molecular biology.

  • Soil Mite Communities (Acari: Mesostigmata) As Indicators of Urban Ecosystems in Bucharest, Romania M
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Soil mite communities (Acari: Mesostigmata) as indicators of urban ecosystems in Bucharest, Romania M. Manu1,5*, R. I. Băncilă2,3,5, C. C. Bîrsan1, O. Mountford4 & M. Onete1 The aim of the present study was to establish the efect of management type and of environmental variables on the structure, abundance and species richness of soil mites (Acari: Mesostigmata) in twelve urban green areas in Bucharest-Romania. Three categories of ecosystem based upon management type were investigated: protected area, managed (metropolitan, municipal and district parks) and unmanaged urban areas. The environmental variables which were analysed were: soil and air temperature, soil moisture and atmospheric humidity, soil pH and soil penetration resistance. In June 2017, 480 soil samples were taken, using MacFadyen soil core. The same number of measures was made for quantifcation of environmental variables. Considering these, we observed that soil temperature, air temperature, air humidity and soil penetration resistance difered signifcantly between all three types of managed urban green area. All investigated environmental variables, especially soil pH, were signifcantly related to community assemblage. Analysing the entire Mesostigmata community, 68 species were identifed, with 790 individuals and 49 immatures. In order to highlight the response of the soil mite communities to the urban conditions, Shannon, dominance, equitability and soil maturity indices were quantifed. With one exception (numerical abundance), these indices recorded higher values in unmanaged green areas compared to managed ecosystems. The same trend was observed between diferent types of managed green areas, with metropolitan parks having a richer acarological fauna than the municipal or district parks.
